Bakery Tip of the Week
As summer winds down, focus on those last-minute impulse buys at the counter. Create a dedicated 'Grab & Go' section near your register with items priced under $5. Think mini cookies, single brownies, or small decorated cupcakes. Use clear, eye-catching signage that highlights their 'perfect for a treat now' appeal. This is a low-effort way to add incremental sales throughout the day, especially when customers are waiting in line.
